Ok, I'm not normally one for getting ahead of myself, but I figured it'd be ok just this one time. So I came up with an idea for when the game comes back (And it will!). The basic concept is you post an alt for the person above you to roll. Now I don't expect it to be a "first thing" when we get back, but rather something to have fun with when our mainstays are made. The format would be as follows:
AT:
Primary:
Secondary:
Travel Power: (if you choose none, then it is up to the player if they want to pick one or not.)
Once it actually happens, I'd love to make a thread tracking progress of the various alts and our impressions of them.
Let's get this ball rolling! Who has one for me? ;D
Sure why not :)
Brute
Dark
Fire
SS
I'll give it a go!
AT: Corruptor
Primary: Water Blast (assuming availability)
Secondary: Storm Summoning
Travel Power: Flight
If you don't have Water Blast, you can take your choice of Electric or Ice. But if you have Water, you gotta use it. :)
Mastermind
Merc's
Traps
Teleport
AT: Tanker
Primary: Willpower
Secondary: Staff Fighting
Travel Power: Super Jump
Scrapper
Katana
Will Power
Fly
Scrapper
Katanna
Super Reflexes
Fly
:)
Brute
SS
Fire
None
Stalker
Dark Melee
Regeneration
teleport
Dominator
Mind
Psi
I'll be magnanamous and allow you to choose the particular travel power you desire.
Next in line? [Tank or Brute, Brawl, ?, ?] is fine with me... :D
Peacebringer
Brute
Dark
Willpower
Superjump.
I would do this but I have such crippling alt-itis that I have nearly a hundred characters to finish/re-roll.
Oh hell, what's one more. The only thing I would like to see is when you post results, please post the backstory and maybe a screenie.
Here's mine for Blackstar5:
Blaster
Dual Pistols
Mental Manipulation
You can pick your own travel power, but let me suggest Ninja Run. With inherent fitness and a jetpack, this is perfectly serviceable.
For TheDevilYouKnow
Scrapper
Street Justice
Willpower

For TheDevilYouKnow
Scrapper
Street Justice

Nice! Moonlight Hunter (or some variant of that name) is born!
For Risha so TheDevilYouKnow isn't stuck making two at once!
Stalker
Kinetic Melée
Energy Aura
Teleport
(A much underrated combo that is a blast to play!)

I read you thought you'd roll street justice or martial arts, so I gave it to you. :) Yes, I didn't make my wordcount yesterday. I considered long between Invulnerability and Willpower, but in the end it was the concept of a character that got me. I mean, the bio nearly writes itself with those three words, doesn't it: Abandoned on the streets as a boy, he had to scrap for every bit of food, clothing and respect...Seeing the inequalities around him sparked a burning rage for justice. Through willpower alone he survived and triumphed!
Ouul, I don't think I ever played a stalker, though it looks a little like widow (sneak up and strike), and definitely not that combo, thanks! Now to think of a bio, and design the costume (and feed the cats as it is breakfast and one is putting his claws in my butt). Later!
Edit: I don't mean TheDevilYouKnow that you have to go with the bio...it was just the concept that got stuck in my head.
Someone, give Ouul something cool!
Yeah, it's a create combo for pulp type heroes, which are my weakness.
Some, like the Shadow, are well known. But many are no longer common knowledge and to me it feels like preserving a little of the past to have G-8 Battle Ace or The Spider (Master of Men) or Tom Corbett (Space Cadet) or Doctor Savage or Alex Gordon (since Flash Gordon might cause a genric) or 1st class Det Tracy or Airboy doing the hero thing in COH.
I want them all to live a little longer.

Probably go with this as a Bio
Billy Bryne, grew up on the streets of Chicago during the Great Depression. His father left to find work and his mother died shortly after during an influenza outbreak. He always had to fight for what he needed but discovered that there were those who were worse off and needed his help.
From street fighting he learned boxing and through sheer will, he never lost. He simply refused to admit when he was beaten and would fight on past the sense of reason. When a corrupt promoter wanted him to throw a fight, he refused.
He was beaten, nearly to death, but a spark remained, that part that refused to acknowledge defeat. To gain his revenge, and to stop others from suffering , he stepped outside the law and became the Moonlight Hunter.
He does not know or care how he can still be the way he is today so many years later. There is still work to do.
Excellent, TheDevilYouKnow.
And whoever is next should give Ouul something wonderful to play!
For Ouul,
Triform Warshade

I will try this (even though I am more of a mele type player) no guarantees on if i stick with it.
Ill in turn challenge YOU Thedevilyouknow, with:
defender
Kin
Psi
no travel power use siphon speed and inertial reduction.

I'll consider it, but they already gave me one. This one is for whoever goes next.
No problem with Kin, but Psi isn't a blast set I had much luck with.
I'd use Ninja Run and Siphon Speed and inertial reduction, bet I'd be fast as hell!!!
I had a /kin troller and never took a travel with him.

For Ouul,
Triform Warshade
For Microcosm:
Dominator
Fire Control
Dark Assault
Super Speed
For DarrkCurrant
Energy/Will Brute, Super Jump (This is the combo everyone else seems to think was bad, but she was the real "wade in and bust some heads" gem of my stable, even above the PB.)
For Scendera:
I'm actually going to make one of these myself. Came across the idea from the Build forums. My main was/is an ice/ice blaster, and another of my favorites was/is a Fire/mental blaster.
So, two great tastes that may go great together...
Blaster
Ice
Mental
Superspeed
For ukaserex
Scrapper
Claws
Dark
Superjump
For DBadger
Corruptor
Ice
Storm
Fly
:)
For Burnt Toast.
It's an old one of mine that really comes together nicely.
My Deftroller (Defender)
Trick Arrow
Sonic
Mace (just a suggestion)
Your choice
Let me sell you for a sec before you get upset. 1 single target and aoe for each (Stun, Hold, Immob), 2 aoe sleeps, an aoe and cone kdown, two nukes, a pet, big ol' slow, a non-resistable -tohit and more -resist than you can shake an arrow at.
I have 2 trick arrow toons already planned: ta/fire and ta/arch
Crappy thing about /sonic is nothing to set oil slick arrow on fire...
Grr.
Working in Mids now.
Edit: Forgot that energy damage will set OSA on fire as well.

Nrg will set OSA on fire, so every one of your blasts will work. :)
Also you can get some ideas from my old build. http://web.archive.org/web/20120905231124/http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=295377
Working on build now... Will be soft capped to smash/lethal/nrg and ranged (Which is what I am for on blast toons...ranged defense).

This could be a lot of fun. Thinking Earth/Psi/Ice though. Loving the synergy in it... on paper anyway. Looks like single target mostly early on but past 32 should really start crushing.
I had an earth/fire/ice dom... my second fav dom. EARTH is my favorite set for controllers and dominators.
